White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1.Qe7+! Kg6 (if Kxe7 2.Nxf5+) 2.Qg7+! Kxg7 3.Nxf5+ and wins.
Qe7 Qg7 Nf5 Nh4
1 Qe7+ k any
2 Qg7+ !
Spotted this one in an instant. White cannot win a piece with Nf5 since black can regain the piece with Qe4+ or, possibly, the more complicated looking Qg4+ and h4. White can win the piece by offering the queen in a pseudo sacrifice first, and black cannot decline the sacrifice for more than a move:
1. Qe7 Ke7 (Kg8/6 2.Qg7! Kg7 3.Nf5)
2. Nf5 Kanywhere
3. Nh4
ok, this is obviously connected with the possible knight fork on f5, if the black king enters e7 or g7, so
1. Qe7+ Kg6/g8
2. Qg7+
will do the trick.

Q-e7ch
Ostinato. Study idea. Like a combination at checkers.
Cortex, away from his GHQ.
Qe7+! of course!
e7
Qe7+ Kg8 or Kg6
Qg7+
